Ebay is busy
« on: August 12, 2012, 05:17:51 PM »
Loads of rares been up today.
Nice to see half kislev unit fetching such a high price :)

I was shocked to see how much the undead scorpion went for though.
This is usually a cheaper one of the rare units.

Kislev stuff went for just over £300.00 for a 1500pt army. Which really isn't that bad.

I picked up a horse archer unit for £16, which was the cheapest of any of the kislev items.

I also picked up both Annuals (2002 and 2003) and a bunch of the magazines. I'm still bidding on a few things though :)

I'm shocked at the prices of some of the rare units. The norse marauders, dwarf hammerers and undead scorpion are at very high prices.

All the better for us lucky few who are hoarding the rare stuff :)
The price of the kislev stuff has just bumped up the price of my army :)
Especially as some of the units went for over £20 and were only half size.

I just nabbed 3 of the 4 orc terrain villages. I'm pretty happy at how cheap those ended up going. Wish I could have got the first one :( I was snipped!

I'm just trying to get some of the Empire ones but people are being crazy and throwing cash past the £5/£6 mark I normally pay.

Only won a Silver Helms unit for £3 so far.  People were bidding New prices on those High Elf spearmen, bizzare.

And just so you know Time of Madness, you can get the horse archers for the normal £8.70 price straight from GW.

Yes the horse archers I picked up were the "kislev" ones not the ones you can buy right now on GW (steepe horse archers). There are 2 different variants. The other pack of horse archers went for £23 which was more then I was willing to pay.

This seller must have made a killing today.

240 pounds for the hammerers?!?

I had my eye on a lot of this stuff, hoping prices would go down due to the market being a bit flooded with rare stuff. Guess not...

£103 for a MNIB pack of the Norse Marauders.  Jesus wept.  I guess some people are reading bad things into their tea leaves to be so concerned about snapping up the OOPs!

OK sorry about the horse archers, I thought there was only one.  But seriously this isn't the first time I've seen people pay more than £8.70 for stuff that is freely available on GW.  Some Empire Knights I bid on went for £9.50.  What is wrong with people?

Some of us live in Australia. 9.50 pounds is cheap, even with postage costs...  :(

Well I was fairly happy with my purchases today. Ended up with the following

- Warmaster Annuals (2002 and 2003)
- Magazines 1, 4, 6, 7, 9, 10, 13, 14, 16 and 19 (only need a couple more to complete my collection)
- 3 Orc Villages, got snipped on the first one :(
- Forgeworld ships/castle cannons
- Battering ram (not sure if it GW, but looked pretty sweet)
- 1 of the kislev horse archer lots

Prices were insane, but I got a lot of what I bid on.

Nice haul.

The battering ram was a GW one, but appeared to be missing the roof, from what I could see in the pic. Still, easy to make your own replacement.

I snagged all the special characters.  ;D

Did not get the Hamerers and I lost out on the OOP knights while focusing on the dwarfs. 

It is always a good day if I can pick up OOP stuff that I do not have. Even if I lost out on pretty much everything else.  :-\
